Bachelor's Major
Mechatronics / Robotics Engineering
Mechatronics is the engineering of autonomous systems. It is a multidisciplinary fusion of Mechanical, Electrical, and Software engineering dedicated to creating machines that can sense, think, and act. From self-driving cars to surgical robots, this major prepares students to build intelligent physical systems.
Admission & Aptitude
Generalist mindset (Jack of all trades)
Strong aptitude for Physics and Coding
Interest in Control Theory and Feedback loops
Systems thinking capability
Curriculum Pillars
Integration
Electro-Mechanical
Control & Intelligence
What You'll Learn
Design, build, and program autonomous electromechanical systems.
Implement feedback control loops (PID) for precise motion.
Integrate perception sensors (LiDAR, Cameras) with physical actuators.
Learning Style
Integrative and project-heavy. You won't go as deep into thermodynamics as a ME or as deep into compilers as a CS, but you will be the only one who understands how the whole robot works. Expect constant prototyping and debugging of complex electromechanical bugs.
Is This You?
You are a generalist who gets bored focusing on just one subsystem.
You love seeing your code result in physical movement.
You are comfortable with the complexity of integrating hardware and software.
